Coming from a lower-middle-class background, he gained rigorous training in data analysis, economic reasoning, and evidence-based policy design. He now applies these skills to design case-based learning modules, mentor youth researchers, and improve program effectiveness through data-driven approaches. Financial assistance and income-based pricing enabled him to complete the program while managing resource constraints at his volunteer-run organization. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
